Unlocking the Secret to Long Term Client Success
Helping clients achieve lasting results requires more than just designing great workout programs. As a personal trainer, you need to become a true lifestyle coach. In this episode of The Jock and The Doc, Scott and Dr. J emphasize adopting a 360 wellness approach to get clients the long-term success they want.
Many trainers fall into the trap of hyper-focusing on the one hour clients spend exercising in the gym. But what about the other 23 hours in their day? This is where clients need just as much coaching and support. Scott explains that small, sustainable changes to daily habits, nutrition, mindset and more add up to big lifestyle transformations over time.
So how can you guide clients to make positive changes during their time outside the gym? Dr. J suggests starting by identifying one or two incremental goals to tackle together that are realistic for that individual. For example, you might work on strategies to reduce stress, improve sleep quality, increase daily movement or cut back on unhealthy snacks. Keep the focus narrow versus overwhelming clients with too many big goals at once.
To make new habits stick, Scott advises collaborating with clients to anticipate challenges and build an accountability plan. Schedule 360 Wellness Coaching sessions to troubleshoot roadblocks. Share strategies that are easy and enjoyable so that it fits in your clients lifestyle and something they can maintain. When clients feel supported in all aspects of wellness, it cements trust and engagement.
While workouts provide the foundation, Dr. J stresses that as a coach you need to address the emotional and social ties to health as well. Take time to understand a client’s true motivations and struggles. Provide ongoing encouragement through setbacks. Share resources that educate clients on developing a holistic wellness mindset. Your role is to help reframe fitness as part of an uplifting lifestyle journey versus just a chore.
Scott and Dr. J are confident any trainer can expand their skillset to become the ultimate lifestyle guru. Tune into this podcast now to unlock simple tips on empowering your clients to achieve sustainable wellness during their 23 hours outside the gym.
